Report explores privacy implications of self-harm monitoring technologies in schools

The Future of Privacy Forum’s Policy Counsels Sara Collins and Yasamin Sharifi, Policy Fellow Anisha Reddy, former Policy Fellow Jasmine Park and Director of Youth and Education Privacy Amelia Vance published a report on the privacy implications of self-harm monitoring technologies in schools. The report explores how the technology is used, questions raised around students’ right to privacy, what student information is obtained and who has access to it, recommendations to reduce risks, and more. “Privacy guardrails must be drawn so students and families can be reassured that their rights will be protected,” the report said.
